We want audiences in southern New Jersey to be able to see outstanding films, and we want developing filmmakers to be able to get the information and training that they need. We do three things to make that happen. We run a Film Festival, we run a Film Camp for teenage filmmakers in June, and we show films in Cape May throughout the year. In 2016 we also ran a one-week Film School for adults. CLICK HERE to see the film we made.
